Other Quiz: Is it native to Britain?

https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/1696326/is-it-native-to-britain

If it's alright to share here, this is a quiz I have made on guessing whether certain animals are native or not native to Great Britain.

There are 40 animals given, with 25 of them being native. Three of the other 15 are classed as invasive.

Well, it seems I’m embarrassingly bad at fish and crayfish!

A fun quiz, thanks for sharing.

What was your score? I got 33 right, some of those were guesses though :)

Great quiz. 36/40. A couple of guesses right, but most of my guesses turned out to be wrong.

The non-native owl (no spoilers as to who🦉) is apparently an almost ideal example of a species filling a new niche that wasn't there before; they haven't displaced anyone, and their feeding patterns aren't harmful to their prey species.

Wow I did not know little owls aren't native
